Literature review:

Student engagement is vastly different from class to class, practical and theory lessons do have connecting

themes when it comes to teaching practices such as: teacher directed and student centred learning, however

these practices are more common in either practical or theory classes. For example theory based lessons

tended to use a teacher directed approaches while practical and physical based classes used student centred

and teacher explanation practices. Overall practical lessons had a much higher student engagement when

compared to theory-based lessons, however the information and quality of learning was higher in theory-

based lessons even though the engagement was not always the best.

Observation:

There were re-occurring trends in terms of teaching practices, for example teacher directed approaches

occurred in both theory and practical lessons however, more common among theory style lessons. Also

lessons that utilized a larger range of different teaching approaches had higher student engagement as the

teaching catered for a larger group of students. There were also instances where practical lessons used

methods that did not occur at all in theory based lessons such as: student centred learning. It's important to

note practical lessons had a much higher student engagement than theory lessons

The 11-question survey was distributed to 10 students at a high school in Western Sydney. The

11 questions were strategically selected. They fall under the three teacher support areas of

establishing structure, autonomy and positive involvement as well as including questions, which

gaged students psychological and behavioural engagement.

The results showed a strong correlation between areas of teacher support and psychological and

behavioural engagement.

It was found that majority of students who agreed and strongly agreed to the questions relating to

teachers establishing structure within the classroom, autonomy and displayed positive involvement

answered strongly in the questions regarding behavioural and psychological engagement. This

means that students who have positive teacher-student relationships are more likely to engage in

school work and feel they belong to the school. Therefore, the research supports the studies in the

literature review. Further studies should be conducted to assess whether psychological

engagement is linked with school attendance.

 Developing and implementing the intervention?

The implementation of the intervention was created as a group with most member of the group contributing

their findings of data. The intervention is based around Project based learning and will be implemented in a

cross sectional fashion to determine if change has occurred in the school. The intervention aims to improve

some of the areas of concern that was shown among reoccurrences between out data and research (see

Appendices 1). The action research layout was also created as a group and I developed the layout for the

video (See Appendices 2) this was done to determine we should implemented the intervention slowly to

increase changes.

 Collecting and analysing preliminary data?

I collected the data through observation, which was used, as one of our primary collection protocols, this

was conducted through the use 10 different PDHPE lesson over 5 different teachers classes. The following

results of this data collection can be seen above. The analysing of data was done though my own personal

21
102097: Researching Teaching and Learning 2 Blake Chandler: 17534550

notes, however this was also discussed in the group to determine any linking themes. The data was collected

at Nepean High School among the PDHPE faculty to keep the findings consistent among classes.

 Developing the research presentation?

I wrote out all the sections of my personal data collection and literature review that was spoken about in the

video and also contributed my personal research from the data collection that I found. I edited the complete

video along with Sam, including everyone sections, title pages etc. I also developed the key research links

and slides/pictures that go along with the video (See appendices 1 & 2).

How did you interact with the other group members?

Overall the group had very good interaction, with all members showing up to all the planned meetings

and implementing some sort of contribution in all aspects, this includes: Video editing, filming, script

writing and personal research/data collection. I found no issues with anyone in the group as every

member pulled their weight as some point in the creation of the video.

Group Contribution Name: Sam Higginson

Explain your contribution to the group:

How did you contribute to:

 Identifying group and individual topics?

I contributed to the group topic by assisting with the discussion revolving around student engagement.
Ensuring that our topic was broad enough to have subtopics whilst still having a central focus of student
engagement. This also filtered into the design our individual topics, however, we discussed our ideas
openly so that we did not research the same subtopic

 Developing and implementing the intervention?

I contributed to the development and implementation of the intervention by recognising the common
themes between our literature reviews. This was also done as a group discussion so that we could
accurately establish an intervention strategy that addressed all of our subtopics.

 Collecting and analysing preliminary data?

I contributed to the collection and analysation of the preliminary data by ensuring that my data was
collected ethically before the group met to discuss the results.

 Developing the research presentation?

I contributed to the research presentation by proposing ideas for its structure and design. I also assisted
with the video editing of the presentation.

How did you interact with the other group members?

I interacted with the other group members in a warm and friendly way, being respectful as members
stated their opinions and ideas throughout this group project.

Group Contribution Name: Joel Caruana 18093591

Explain your contribution to the group:

How did you contribute to:

 Identifying group and individual topics?

We worked collaboratively to brainstorm and identify our research topic of ‘maintaining greater
student engagement’. From here, we broke down the research topic into areas of interest and
specifically to fit relevant subtopics within our individual KLA’s.

 Developing and implementing the intervention?

As I did not attend a practicum this semester, my intervention was based on retrospect perspective
from 2 former students, and 1 current teacher. A brief relaxed, open interview was conducted,
targeting the specific areas of ‘segmentation’ and ‘student engagement’

 Collecting and analyzing preliminary data?

Data was collected and analyzed independently by each researcher. The group then came together to
share their findings, to then collaborate/formulate how the data related to the research project.

 Developing the research presentation?

Pour group utilized my home, whereby, we congregated and used iMovie and some short slides to
create our video

 How did you interact with the other group members?

Our group worked as a cohesive unit, each member having positive and productive relationships.
